In short
With the help of the Piwik Tag Manager, you can easily connect Varify.io with Piwik Pro to analyze your experiments. To do this, create the necessary variables, events and a tag to connect Varify.io with Piwik Pro. You can then segment according to your variants in Piwik Pro.

Check your tracking integration
To ensure that everything is connected correctly, we recommend that you start an A/A test. This will allow you to ensure that everything is working correctly before you start testing.
